[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well. I am glad I read the book (listened to the audiobook with all its extras, actually—including interviews with people mentioned in the book) because this forum made it seem like a gross disaster.

I found it measured and sincere. Funny at times and bittersweet. You don’t have to like her or agree with her deconstruction to recognize it as a well written book that is going to speak to a LOT of us—especially if you did grow up in a youth group in the 90s as a girl. Maybe some of you did not.[/quote]

No one is calling it a gross disaster and I think most people on here agree she's a good writer. What makes her a good writer is her ability to connect with people. However, the veil is lifted when you realize she's a grifter and this is all a schtick for her. Like how she writes an entire book about paring down and living less but in reality this is a person who has to pay for dumpsters to throw out her excess. She's just so phony and writes to whatever is going to sell for her. I'm sure this is the year she would have put out a book whether she was divorced or not. If she was still with Brandon she'd just write a menopause manifesto. She's just not...sincere. And even though I grew up in a very conservative environment attending a Southern Baptist youth group and Christian private college, I went on to be pretty left of center. But there's actually something about seeing Jen and Tyler that make me want to go back to the Republican side. They're just so clutch your pearls, crying into their phone camera, over the top.
